| The family said, “We were watching TV when we heard the news.”

A. The family said that they had been watching TV when they had heard the news.

B. The family said that they had been watching TV when they have had heard the news.

C. The family said that they have been watching TV when they had heard the news.

D. The family said that they have been watching TV when they have had heard the news.

Right Answer is: A

SOLUTION

In the given sentence the inverted commas (“ “) used in Direct Narration will be removed in Indirect Narration and “that” conjunction will be used. There are two verbs in the reported speech that are in past continuous and simple past and will change into past perfect continuos and past perfect respectively. Hence the correct conversion would be The family said that they had been watching TV when they had heard the news.
